What does the Negative Exponent Property say? And the Product of Powers Property?
r^3/t^(12)
To simplify the given exponential expression, we will use the Negative Exponent and Product of Powers Properties.
Negative Exponent Property
a^(- n)=1/a^n, for every nonzero numbera [0.8em]
and integern
Product of Powers Property
a^m * a^n = a^(m * n)
Let's try to simplify the given expression using these properties.
Split into factors
a^(- m)=1/a^m
Multiply fractions
a^m*a^n=a^(m+n)
a*b/c= a* b/c
